Thanks to a concerned person who called 911 to report the incident that a huge buck who fell into the Red Lake River last Monday afternoon in Thief River Falls Minnesota by accident that needed to be rescued by the fire department.
The Thief River Falls firefighters used a rope to lasso the antlers of the buck with tow straps and yank the buck out of losing his life by freezing or drowning in the icy lake.
The deer is in good condition after being released into the woods after his encounter with the icy river.

What most likely happened what the large buck must have gotten curious about the ice on the river and he fell into the river by accident.

@RubyHawk I have heard that bucks are huge animals as I have seen them on television shows.

@Deepizzaguy probably so, a buck is a heavy animal.

The buck did not have the ability to get out of the river under his own power. The firefighters are the real heroes saving his life.
